Title	Parker, John 1920-01-07
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on Hotels Statler letterhead, 1/7/1920. Tells Eugene V. Debs that he is one of his comrades. Says that he was raised in the movement and never heard anyone call Eugene V. Debs Mr. Debs because everyone feels right at home calling him Gene. Writes that his heart ached when he heard that Eugene V. Debs had been imprisoned. Assures Eugene V. Debs that there are untold numbers of comrades who are thinking of him. Remarks that he knew when he heard Eugene V. Debs speak in Du Bois, Pennsylvania that one day Eugene V. Debs would end up in prison because "a man with such a noble heart and high ideals has no place to rest peacefully in this abode." Explains that the people of Russia are working out a new freedom. Says that once it is in place the "combined armies of the universe will never be able to uproot or destroy" it. Tells Eugene V. Debs that freedom is almost unknown in America. Remarks that when the time comes that Eugene V. Debs will emancipate the American working classes. Expresses the hope that Eugene V. Debs has the strength and spirit to hold out in prison. Writes that he attended a meeting last week where Victor Berger and Oscar Ameringer spoke. Informs Eugene V. Debs that he will not serve his entire sentence because the revolution would have already occurred by then. Mentions that he will try to visit Eugene V Debs the next time he is in Atlanta, Georgia.
